Shocking! Demi Moore reveals she was raped at 15, allegedly by a man who paid her mother $500

Demi Moore has made a number of startling revelations in her memoir Inside Out. One of the most disturbing life experiences she has shares is that she was raped as a teenager by a man who knew her mother. Demi shared that when she was 15, she returned home to find a much older man waiting for her in her home who apparently had the key to her apartment. Demi revealed this disturbing information on a US TV show.

In her memoir, she wrote that the man claimed that her mother sold her to him in exchange for $500. The show read out an excerpt from Demi’s memoir in its episode, “It was rape. And a devastating betrayal, revealed by the man's cruel question: 'How does it feel to be wh**ed by your mother for $500?'"

During the show, Demi was asked whether she believes that her mother accepted the money for such an agreement, she said, “I think, in my deep heart no. I don't think it was a straightforward transaction. But she still did give him the access, and put me in harm's way." She also revealed that her mother’s first suicide attempt when she was 12 had put an end to her childhood. She also revealed that the man she knew her to be her father wasn’t her biological father and she consoled herself with the thought, “I wasn't wanted or I don't deserve to be here."

Following her parents’ irresponsible parenting she dropped out of high school and begun signing up for acting auditions as a teenager and abused cocaine and other drugs just like her parents. Talking about her drug abuse episode, she said, “They don't have an 'off' switch. I don't have the thing that says 'This is enough'.” Demi has dedicated her memoir to her three daughters as well as her mother who died in 1998.
